Check out this one guys. Its a video
board-game from Spear's Games called
Atmosfear, and by golly it’s as spooky
as a very spooky thing!
Played in much the same way as
conventional board-games, Atmosfear
has the additional extra of a video host,
known as the Gatekeeper, who snarls
orders at the players. Hmm, he must be
related to Dr X.
The idea is to race around the
board in an attempt to collect six keys to
unlock your nightmares. If however, the
Gatekeeper should appear he must be
obeyed!
Atmosfear should be available very
soon and will cost around £30. Already
the best selling board-game in Australia,
it looks too scary to be true. We can’t
wait to play it.
Traditional board-games tend to make
brilliant hand held — entertainment.
4-in-1, as the title may suggest to you,
contains a quartet of little board-game
belters for the Game Boy.
There’s Sargon chess which features
six difficulty levels, hints and tips, take-
back and replay; as well as
backgammon; reversi and checkers. All
of these have various levels of difficulty
and a two-player link-up feature.

Available in March.
Earnest Evans is the nearest thing to
Indiana Jones you'll see this side of 4
legal suit. Right down to the fedora anc
bullwhip.
The game follows a typical Doctor
Jones action adventure as you search
for a number of Inca idols which have
been scattered around the world. It’s an
all-action arcade game, combining
platform and puzzle with beat'em-up
confrontations.
You may have seen the game
reviewed in issue 40 on Mega-CD, and

B-17 FLYING FORTRESS
simulation of the massive US bomber, B-17 Flying
Fortress is due to roll out of the Microprose hangar in
April. In the cockpit of this flying colossus, you will
experience all aspects of flight and you'll also get the
_ chance to relive historic day and night-time missions.
The B-17 has a 10 man team and so this is almost a
full role-playing environment within the confines of an
aircraft fuselage.
Microprose is boasting that the instrumentation is the
most accurate ever seen in a bomber sim, and the 3D
environment is really believable. The team wants you to
believe that when you open the bomb doors and drop the
payload you’re responsible for the resulting destruction.
B-17 Flying Fortress will be available first on the PC
sometime during the spring with a hotly-awaited Amiga
version planned for the latter part of the year.
FIVE NATIONS

Dodging the limelight these days, the
increasingly reclusive Bitmap Brothers
are to release two compilation packs.
These will feature some of their
phenomenal hit games; Xenon, Xenon
2, Speedball, Speedball 2 and Cadaver.
To be released on the Renegade
label. The exact line-up for each
compilation has yet to be decided on,
but they will be released on the Amiga
and ST.
The Bitmap Brothers games,
without exception, have been real
corkers, so a couple of three title
compilations have got to be good news.
The first of the compilations is set for an
April release.
Robert Went of Loughborough is now
the proud owner of a Philips colour
monitor which he won in the GX compo
way back in issue 29, while Chris Leigh
of Blackpool came away with a hi-tech
video recorder from the Freeze-Frame
compo in issue 30.
The Crayons at the Ready overall
competition winner is Steve Richardson
who receives the full range of Readysoft
titles, plus a year’s supply of releases.
The 10 runners-up are as follows:
John Oakes, Clwyd, North Wales;
Thomas Ackers, Chester; Lee Marsden,
Leicestershire; Thomas Latham,
Lancashire; Pauline Mathieson,
Glasgow; Richard Ainley, West
Yorkshire; Jamie West, London; Kevin
Frostick, Clwyd, North Wales; Craig
Billington, Northwich, and Scott
Davenport from Wigan in Lancashire.

12 GAMES: X 27TH FEBRUARY-4TH MARCH 1992
The world famous
Virtuality system
pioneered by W
Industries has been
causing a stir ever
since it was unleashed
onto the unsuspecting
public last year. Since
its arrival the arcade
games player has been
given a full ‘virtual
world’ experience,
spanning from galactic
space war to NASCAR
stock car racing!
y now, I’m sure you are all
familiar with the idea behind the
Visette™ and joystick control,
so | won't bore you with yet another
pleb’s guide to VR.
What | will do is introduce you to the
most original application of Virtuality yet,
and describe what is undoubtedly the
most exciting concept in games playing
to appear in many a year...
LEGEND QUEST
Before the time of legend, and long
before time itself, darkness filled the void
and the universal storm raged on...
All sorts of Gods and Goddesses
had a big punch up as the world was
created, and now, one megalomaniacal
God has gone bonkers and is intent
upon ruling everything.
As a cautionary action, one of the
Goddesses has opened up a rip in time
to allow warriors from other planes to
enter the world of Khelda Roth and battle
against this evil God — Nar-Gardin.
The brave warriors must explore the
world of Khelda Roth and embark upon
10 separate quests, each leading to the
destruction of one of the 10 incarnations
of the evil overlord...
Right then! That’s the storyline out
of the way, let’s get on with the nitty-
gritty stuff...
Looking around you can see one of the
elven members of your team preparing
his bow for the attack! Looks good eh?
LET THE MADNESS BEGIN
After deciding what role you wish to take,
whether it be a human, elf or dwarf,
along with an occupation from wizard,
warrior or thief, you can then decide
roughly how your character looks.
Sex, hair colour, eye colour and
clothing colours are all defined by the
individual before they are assigned to a
special plastic ‘game key’ which is
recognized by the main Expiality
computer.
Having designed your character you
can then move into the main Virtuality
room where four Visette and joystick
units are installed in the VR pods, which
look uncannily like tree trunks.
Inserting your little blue key into the
slot, followed by donning the Visette and
bum-pack, will transport you to the world
of Legend Quest.
Once you're in you have an allotted
time — the current rate is £1 for every
two minutes of play ~ in which to explore
the massive world which has been
designed by the Virtuality Design and
Leisure team.
The world of Khelda Roth is truly
huge, filled with towns, villages,
mountain ranges and forests, along with
dungeons and caverns which can be
explored. All you have to do is battle
from the very first dungeon out into the
big wide world, where you can begin on
one of the 10 quests.
The game can be_ played
simultaneously by four players and
when in a room together the characters
can communicate by means of a
microphone and headset system which
is linked into the Expiality computer.
The central CPU keeps track of the
characters’ distances from each other
and changes the volume of the voices
accordingly, as well as changing the
pitch of the voice depending upon race!
Whacky or what!
Around the world there are many
weapons or objects which can be
wielded and these can be carried
around at ail times. For example, the
wizard carries spells which he calls up
by looking into his book and turning the
pages — just move your hand in the
page-turning action — while the warriors
can have swords, daggers or bows.
To use one of these weapons all the
player has to do is gently stroke the
thigh or the area of the body where the
weapon is stored and, hey presto, it will
be in your hand!
Unlike previous Virtuality games,
the world in Legend Quest is virtually
real. There are no rules as such, and the
constraints placed upon the player are
only limited by the individual's
imagination. The game contains
everything you could possibly
need to set up a real society.
There is money,
houses, shops, guilds |
everything! If you really :
wanted to you could set 1
yourself up as a hired
killer to make money, or
you could even join other —
characters to form a guild.
§ Be oe —
02 242626,
The centre has only been officially
open for two weeks and already there is
a Wizard’s Guild that is charging for and
restricting the use of spells by non-
members and, as we speak, a group of
players are forming another Guild that is
to be used to counteract this!
Just imagine the possibilities! A
Virtual Mafia? Virtual Thieves’ Guilds?
Anything is possible!
THE TECHY BIT
As you can imagine, the system that
runs this lot is going to have to be fairly
powerful! Well, along with the main
Expiality CPU which is a _ powerful
custom-built unit that generates the 3D
raytraced graphics, there is also a 100
megabyte computer built into each pod.
It is this which keeps track of the
individual's movements throughout the
world. This ensures that each player's
“view of Khelda-Roth is as smooth as it
could possibly be.
As with all Virtuality units the system
is completely open which means that if
any new and faster VR boards are
developed — which they are all the time —
the old boards can be ripped out and the
new one installed without any problem.
The same applies for the Visettes. If
a new lighter design is developed, the
old ones can simply be taken off and the
new ones plugged in. In effect you have
a totally open system that will keep on
growing in alongside the technology.
THE FUTURE
In the coming year it is hoped that such
centres will be set up across the country
and that a link-up between centres can
be achieved, thus allowing players who
are hundreds of miles apart to interact
with each other.
Just imagine the possibilities! You
could be exploring a town from the
Nottingham location and speak to a chap
from Birmingham who also happens to
be in the same location!
So is this the most incredible
gaming experience yet? | think
— so! Until now, the potential
of the Virtuality system
has not really been
| fulfilled. Thankfully we
are now beginning to
witness the future of
multi-player games.
Definitely VR at its best!

Most of the doors are emblazoned with a grim face, but deep down this door stands
apart from the rest, bearing a large grin. What lurks behind it, and why is it smiling?
lack Crypt is accompanied by
& the usually fantasy setting
(mle ~when, 22 years ago, a
powerful cleric was banished from the
land of Astera for performing black
magic and generally running riot.
Estoroth Paingiver — a very apt
name — eventually returned to the
land, and was pushed out one 4
more time.
He was held captive in a double
dimensional rift, but an opening
threatening to unleash him and his
minions across the land of Astera.
Therefore he must be banished
once and for all. The only way possible
is for a band of heroic adventurers to
enter his dungeon and defeat him.
JOURNEY DOWN TO YOUR DOOM
Your party is comprised of four
characters, each one skilled in a different
profession. The natural leader of the
band is the warrior, who is joined at the
front of the group by a cleric.
Bringing up the rear is the magic
user and the druid. The band members
are divided into main statistics, namely
strength, dexterity, constitution, wisdom
and intelligence.
Each character starts with a set
quota of experience points, but also has
a pool of 25xp with which to ‘personalize’
themselves. You also have a choice of
nine portraits for each character.
Before you embark on the quest you
must first save the game on a separate
floppy, although there is a_ pre-
determined team for those who want to
get straight into the action.
14 GAMES-X 27TH FEBRUARY-4TH MARCH 1992
Most of the game is
controlled by mouse,
although movement can be operated on
the keyboard. The numeric keypad is
perhaps the best set of keys for this.
The left mouse button is used to
execute an action. For instance, clicking
the left button on a character's head will
make him use whatever is in his action
(right) hand.
The layout of the screen is the same
as DM, with the quest screen on the left,
while the characters’ stats and the

Having solved a tricky puzzle on the
second level, you find the weapon that
you've spent hours searching for - the
Ogre Blade
movement box is detailed on the right
and at the bottom of the screen.
The inventory screen takes up the
bottom quarter of the display, so the
party's view will always be shown unless ~
you decide to sleep. Rest is vital, and
replenishes lost energy. ;
You can choose to let all four
characters sleep, or you can leave
a lookout or two instead — a
superb idea DM didn't offer.
Another neat touch is that the
players will not rest if they
are hungry — they'll starve
until you manage to find
food and water.
CRYPTIC CLUES
The amount of objects each character
can carry depends on how many
carrying items they are holding. A small
bag will only hold four small daggers,
whereas a backpack can carry eight.
The largest storage device, and also
the heaviest, is the chest which allows
you to hoarde double the amount the
pack can store.
Runes and glyphs are often
scrawled on the walls, and you can read
them by simply clicking the left button on
them, or if they are of a language you
cannot understand you may need the aid
of a ‘read runes’ spell.
Take care, because although you
may be able to cast a variety of spells to
begin with, some of the creatures you'll
undoubtedly encounter have the ability
to use magic themselves, and you can
bet their fireballs are far more dangerous
than your ‘open door commands!

you'll soon be able to manipulate your

Graphically the game is superb,
featuring clear, crisp backdrops that
vary between the 12 levels. There is
great variety between the monsters,
and although you may only encounter a
couple to begin with, they soon appear
in hordes later on.
The sound is equally outstanding,
featuring a number of sampled grunts

combat. Without a doubt this is THE

coQuest, unlike many of
Sierra’s others adventures, is
| based around the lower age
generation, aimed at 10-year-olds and
up. It is for this reason the game is
simple to play, the tasks ahead are fairly
logical to work out.
Above all, EcoQuest teaches the
player about the various hazards that are
endangering our environment.
EcoQuest — The Search for Cetus is
set in a vast underwater world, where you
must try and save the Whale King so he
can tend to his piscean race.
In the role of Adam, the young son of
an aquatic doctor, you quickly become
steal Oage WVer
_| jagieng Hoon with
friends with a dolphin, prosaically named
Delphineus, from the Greek.
It was when Del was caught in a
drag net that he was taken into the care
of Adam’s dad.
After playing with the porpoise for a
few moments in the pool, Adam realises
that Del Boy can actually speak.
The dolphin reveals all, telling Adam
how Cetus has disappeared and that the
underwater world of Eluria is in constant
danger from many things.
The first problem is human waste.
Having kitted himself out with the
appropriate equipment, Adam follows the
dolphin down to his world where he

realises how much rubbish has been
thrown into the sea.
With his recycling bag in hand,
Adam can collect the junk strewn about,
but that’s not the only problem.
The city is haunted by a huge black
manta ray which patrols the area, looking
for stray fish which would nicely fill his
huge appetite.
FISHY FROLICS
And so Adam’s quest unfolds, cleaning
up the ocean while at the same time
trying to fathom out the location of Cetus,
the Whale King.
Using the point-and-click control
system, the list of icons, including walk,
perform an action and speak, can be
called up either by accessing the menu at
the top of the screen or toggling through
the icons using the right-hand mouse
button or 5 on the keypad.
The left button executes the action,
be it move, use an object with another or
attempt to operate something.
Adam can carry a large selection of
objects thanks to his
bottomless pockets.
IN THE ABYSS
However, some equipment must be used
with other objects before its use
becomes clear. For instance, you must
use the screws with the cage before you
can bolt it onto the fisherman's boat.

manual explains in great detail how to
explore the game.
There is also a free book included,
informing you how to save the
environment around you, with 55 tasks
that should each help save the world in
some way.
A puzzle sheet is also hidden inside
the box, which teaches kids about the
Earth in a fun and exciting way.

"Koh er, Orpheus fierdey
The first thing I noticed
about EcoQuest is how
sickeningly nice the game
is. Imagine having an_ in-depth
conversation with a talking dolphin
who's ranting and raving about the
whereabouts of Cetus, a 100 foot whale
that looks over and cares for his fishy
friends ~ barf city!
Being experienced in Sierra’s line
of adventure products, | found
EcoQuest a little too easy for my liking -
anyone with experience in this type of
game will probably sail through the
quest in a matter of hours.
However, this product is aimed at
children and I congratulate Sierra on
how it’s managed to portray such a
fopical subject as the state of the
environment into a successful game.
It goes without saying that the
game is graphically outstanding in 256-
colour VGA, and with the correct sound
board, either a Roland, Adlib or Sound
Blaster, the sonics are of an equally
impressive standard.
Use of a hard disk is strongly
| recommended. You'll tire of the game
due to excessive disk swapping before
the intro screen appears.
The overall presentation, like
_ virtually every other Sierra product, is
first class, down to the glossy
packaging and informative environment
booklet. To sum up, an excelient game
for beginners and the younger games
players, but one that experienced
adventurers should possibly steer clear
of due to lack of challenge.
Oh, | suggest you keep a paper bag
handy in case a disgustingly cute
conversation takes you by surprise.

As mentioned last week, here is the
concluding selection of Lynx titles that
are due over the next two quarters. At
the moment Bad Boy Tennis is looking
great and its variety of games includes
both singles and doubles tournaments.
Digitized speech will announce the
score, and the game is looking very fast
at,the moment. For those of you
interested, Atari is hoping to get the
game sponsored by Jimmy Connors.
Battle Zone 2000 is in the very
early stages of development with only a
few screens of animation on show, but
vectors are looking slick and smooth.
Daemonsgate is based around the
16-bit version of the same name, and is
a Gauntlet-style arcade adventure. The
overall presentation is pretty good with
smooth scrolling and clear graphics, but
the sound is more than a little
nauseating at the moment.
Dino Dudes is basically a
prehistoric version of Lemmings but on
a much bigger scale. Rather than
guiding little gicenroled: rodents to the
exit, you must use your team of
cavemen to collect spears and other
such objects.
Cliff faces must be scaled on one
another’s backs, but you must
remember to keep your speed up
because the game is against the clock
as well.as.the scenery.
YA MP, IRES A NI ID IDIOTS
Ninja Nerd is another action game for
the Lynx, where the player starts off as
a nerd and must work his way up to
being a hunky guy. It features multi-
level parallax which is still a little jerky,
but it is only in development at present.
Dracula is looking to be one of the
most spectacular Lynx carts around,
and features atmospheric sepia
graphics and digitized screenshots.
Being a vampire hunter, you must
venture into Dracula’s castle in search
of the infamous Count himself, and
must then drive a stake through his
heart and hopefully complete this
arcade adventure.
Last up is Malibu Bikini
Volleyball, a beach volley sim featuring
busty and scantily-clad beauties. Each
team is made up of two people, and the
basic aim is to bump, set and spike the
ball over the net into your opponents’
half. Look out for all these titles and
when they're nearer completion, expect
to see a full review in Games-xX.

MONOPOLY
Monopoly is one of the
all-time great board
games, and streets
like Old Kent
Road and Mayfair
are household
names all across
the country.
Monopoly is a
game for up to four players, with two to
four human competitors. There are eight
computer opponents, each one playing
the game with their own strategy.
Ollie is the type of bloke that just
can’t say no to an offer, whereas Arthur
will take you for everything you've got.
I'LL BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR
As well as including the standard game
of Monopoly on the cartridge, there are
eight different pre-set games.
These set-ups are for four players
only and award the players with different
amounts of cash, different street sets
and houses or hotels, as if you have
joined in halfway through a game.
If you can’t pay your bills, it is
possible to sell your houses — for a
reduced price, of course — and mortgage
the unimproved properties, ie those
without buildings on them. If you still
cannot raise the cash, you go bankrupt.
The winner is the person who
a PRICE: £22.99 ,
SUPPLIER:
CONSOLE Plus
manages to financially survive the
longest, making sure each opponent is
dragged under and made bankrupt.
Monopoly is highly popular and is
sold in 31 different countries, and the
Game Boy version will no doubt add to
the outstanding success of the game.
The Nintendo portable version is
excellent, featuring superb graphics and
sound, and what's more, an enjoyable
game of Monopoly.
The cartridge handles all of the
financial side of the game and the
various pre-set games and computer
opponents make it that much better. xX

from using SCUDs to start

Having powered up the
Mega Drive you will have to decide
which co-pilot to take on your mission,
which mission to accept (the later
objectives can only be accessed via a
password system) and finally which type
of control method you prefer. It’s
probably easiest to engage momentum,
though you can switch this off.

waters of the Gulf.
Pulling back on the stick
will allow you to gain altitude, then
pushing forward to increase speed and

number of objectives, for instance the
first requires you to destroy the radar
bases, the second to attack the
important power generator.
Having cut off all
electricity, you then take
out the air bases and the
command posts. An
enemy commander will
reveal the location of the
secret agent, and all that’s
left is to retrieve the spy and
take him safely back to the ship.
You have three Apache gunships
with which to complete the missions, the
helicopters having limited supplies of fuel
and ammo and, what's more, armour that
soon wears away when you get a direct
hit from an AA missile.
You can replenish these by
collecting the petrol cans
and ammo boxes scattered
around the landscape,
simply by flying overhead,
waiting for the hook to
lower and then collecting
the object.
Troops and spies are
picked up in the same way
although rather than a hook a rope-
ladder is lowered.
You will be shot at by all manner of
enemy installations, but you have a
selection of weapons with which to return
HELLFIRES
The map details the location of your mission objectives, as well as fuel and ammo
fire. You start with 38 unguided Hellfire
missiles, 8 guided Hydra shells and over
a 1000 cannon rounds.
SIMPLY BRILLIANT
Hydras are useful for taking
out the anti-aircraft guns
before they shoot you,
and the Hellfires are best
left for the buildings and
7 other stationary targets.
Use the cannon to pick off
the enemy troops.
| think that trying to make money out
of such an incident as the Gulf War is
disgusting, but Desert Strike is simply
brilliant. The game is so addictive,
probably due to the way it handles
perfectly and is both visually and
sonically first-class.
The animation on the
helicopter is particularly
outstanding, and the overall
presentation of the enemy
bases, their military
hardware and troops is
exceptionally good.
The chopper is
accompanied by the constant
thud of the rotors spinning, and the odd
blast of gunfire when you engage the
enemy. The missions are both
challenging and in great supply, making
Desert Strike arguably the best title on
the Mega Drive this year. » 4

BEASTLY BUSINESS
The game must be completed in a set

Skeleton without the power orb because
your punches won't reach, and you must
collect keys before unlocking doors.
There are numerous puzzles
throughout the game that involve a little
thought, but most of the game is action-
packed punching and kicking.
There is, however, a shoot’em-up
stage when you finally collect the jet

Being 260mm x 190mm in size, the

The layout of the pad is virtually

Three LEDs can be seen above

Clueless, your mission commences
under the blazing sun of Miami. Without
any warning you are ambushed by
waves of thugs that leap down from a
passing tanker.

Albatrogs and Leila start the mission with
pistols and a short supply of ammo, but if
you take time out to raid the armoury,
you can stock up with a fresh supply of
bullets as well as equip yourself with an
SMG, handy for killing off a load of
charging thugs.

cuteness to a sickeningly new level.
You start in a little blue frock which
represents your armour level, initially low.
Upon beating a guardian and
progressing through the levels, this will
gradually increase, as will the power of
your weapon, also puny to begin with.
BALL OF FIRE
There are four levels of weaponry,
initiated by the small blast, then the

and finally the deadly three-way fire.
Six levels of armour protect Valis,

tougher protection until the latter stages.

FOOTBALL CRAZY
There I was, perfectly happy in the
knowledge that the people at Games-X were
not only fair-minded but also sane and
oblivious to perverse tendencies.
Then, shock horror, | spot a picture of the
repulsive Brian Sharp in your glossy mag...
not only is he terrifically ugly but a
Manchester United Supporter to boot!
This simply will not do. Everyone knows
(well all the Leeds fans do) that Manchester
United and their fans are complete wasters,
despite somehow spawning their way to the
top of the division.
Please advise the sad being in question
not to turn up at the Team 17 offices in that
sort of regalia, otherwise we cannot
guarantee his health and general welfare.
PS Did you notice all the anti-Man Utd cheats
in Alien Breed?
Martyn ‘Leeds Fan’
Software, Wakefield.
Brown, Team 17
Dr X: Hey, chill out man. | don’t understand this inane
football waffle. Haven’t you got anything better to do on
Saturday afternoons than chant like zombies and watch
grown men kick a ball around a field?

2 1 We pret ay
As for our Brian ~— he might be terrifically ugly and a
Manchester United fan, but his heart’s in the right place.
Threats to the writers’ welfare aren’t welcome, it’s bad
karma, trained as they are to deal with all types of
demands, psychological and physical, especially from
software houses.

27TH FEBRUARY-4TH MARCH 1992 GAMES-
Please help me, this would be my first
completed adventure. Also, the hypocaust
keeps killing me so | always avoid it. Is there
any way around it?
Madelene Tatham, Stroud.
Dr X: Well Madders, you have got a rusty old game
there haven't you? What on earth gives you the idea
that this is going to be your first completed adventure?
The calc only takes two items at a time, so you
have to move on, then return, throw two items, walk
away, then return again and repeat until all your items
are mixed in the cauldron proper. As for the hypocaust,
try filling the horn with water for a refreshing drink in the
sweltering heat.
LEISURELY CRUISE
I have recently purchased Leisure Suit Larry
2 on the Amiga. My friend has told me how to
get onto the boat but my problem is how to
get off it. 1 am sure that you have to use the
lifeboat but how do | lower the boat to the
water level?
Is there a Larry 4 or does it go straight
from Larry 3 to Larry 5? | have managed to
finish Larry 3.
James Macdonald, Winchester.
Dr X: You're on the right track but you’re showing little
or no foresight. Open your mind. To lower the lifeboat
you have to push the lever in the captain's room and
then get into the boat to escape. As for Larry 4, you're
pretty astute. No, there isn’t one. Weird, man, but don’t
let it worry you.

Gremlin Graphics is largely remembered
for its driving games but now comes Zool,
described by the team as a ‘most unusual
be intriguing game
sketch while working as a
butcher — weird!
Zool is a ninja of the Nth
dimension, a deadly fighting force
armed with lightning reactions and
incredible skill.
DECEIVING APPEARANCES
The main sprite looks rather like an
ant. However, don’t be fooled by his
cute looks for this fellow is armed to
the back teeth with an impressive
array of weapons.
Although he may look the picture
of innocence he’s certainly not a
character to be messed with.
Taking up over 80 frames of
animation, this ninja
certainly appears in
tip-top condition,
and just oozes
yid may look fun but
ly has his work _
g with all the
good health; he’s lean, agile
and amazingly fit.
All this graphic data
means that he can perform
a multitude of different
actions such as running
and jumping, punching, |
kicking,
shooting and spinning. In addition, he
is able to cling to walls, monkey
\ climb, and slide down slopes.
And as if that wasn’t enough,
the little nipper can also call upon
his ninja magic to get him out of
close scrapes.
Amazing high jumps and
_ written using the philosophy
‘that if you leave programmers
devastating smart bombs can
certainly come in handy in
times of need!
Zool lives an a very strange
and sometimes inhospitable
world. The entire game will be laid out
over 18 manic levels covering six
different types of world.
The Sweet World is made up
entirely of yummy goodies. However,
don’t be fooled by such mouth-
watering graphics because Sweet
World’s crammed full of nasties that
would do far more than send you on a
trip to the dentist.

Tool World, on the other hand, is
jam-packed with far more

drills, crocodile clips, ball bearings,
bolters, oil jets, oil drips, saws and
brazing torches all lie in wait to stop

on their own, they come up with a
unique and very unusual game.
The game is the result of George
and Ade being left to their own
devices and we’re sure you'll agree
that the end result is truly stunning!
Zool could be likened to Sonic
and Mario on the consoles, especially
since it manages to keep both that
console feel as well as maintain an
addictive level of gameplay.
No release date has been fixed as
yet but in the meantime Amiga owners
should prepare themselves for one of
the wackiest platform games yet. Zool
is on his way!
Should Zool find one, he can bounce
around the screen on a space hopper,
killing all the meanies that are silly

.GAMES-X 27TH FEBRUARY-4TH MARCH 1992
he opposite of realism, |
guess, is fantasy, and now
Microprose is applying as
much game design logic, detail and
technical research into fantasy role-
playing as it did when emulating the
most sophisticated fighter jets,
submarines or helicopters.
Darklands is its first role-playing
game, although there is a common
thread that has run through all
Microprose games, from Gunship to,
Railroad Tycoon.
That thread is the first-hand
involvement and an all-encompassing
atmosphere of realism, whether in a
fighter jet cockpit or at the helm of a
nuclear sub.
DEEP AND MYSTERIOUS
Now this effect has been applied to
RPG in Micrprose’s first ever fantasy
role-playing game, Darklands.
Medieval Germany may not seem
like the most fantastic of places and
eras, but Darkland designer Arnold
Hendrick’s research has revealed a
mysterious, sinister place and time:
There violence and corruption
were a part of every walk of life from
the church, politics and military to
civilian life. |
Confusion in religion led to three
corrupt usurping Popes simultan-
eously ruling the church, and
noblemen who were more _ like
gangsters than gentlemen.
Darklands recreates this Strange
and evil period, delving into the
conflict between devil worshippers,
witches and those who prayed to
saints for miracles and believed the
real fantasy of alchemy.
“The game combines realism with
‘eorrect historical and geographical
references .and detail, along with
etherial magic and fantasy, allowing
you to freely explore the real and
fantastic together.

Microprose team.
Advanced role-playing elements
are accessed via a comprehensive and
unobtrusive point-and-click interface.
This means that the very presence
of your adventurers, their intervention
in any part of a series of events and
their interaction with the many and
varied characters, can all have
immediate implications or kick off a~
series of events which could shape
the adventure.
TOTAL INTERACTION
Darklands is an adventure requiring
intelligence and detective work, rather
than pot uck guesses.
This is further enhanced by the
realistic settings and characters,
which make the comic-like pursuit of
so many RPG’s seem pointless.
There are no childish magic spells
accompanied by puffs of smoke in
Darklands. Here magic and alchemy
are based on real spells and
concoctions that the people of the
time believed were true.
This demonstrates how beliefs
which we consider to be crazy now
were as important then as Christianity
is to many people today — no wonder
there was so much conflict!
The game is played on every
status level from civilian to emperor
and on every plane from cleric or
alchemist to warrior.
Your intervention could set off a

Not surprisingly for a Microprose
production, battle strategy plays an
important part, and the team has

battle tactician as well as warrior.
Darklands will be released on PC

version currently in the planning and

Well what does everyone else think?
1. The cheats are for the version you buy
in the shops.
2. Cheats are created to allow a game to
be fully tested. If you think about it, an
arcade manufacturer would be pretty
annoyed if a cheat for infinite lives got
out. By and large you can only access
the options screen if you can get inside
the cabinet and seeing as how you don't
own it, you can’t!
